Hello and welcome to the 2023-2024 school year at Williams Bay Middle and High School! I'm so excited for our new school year to begin! This school year will be my second year as a Bulldog and I cannot wait to welcome students back and support them in following their dreams. Seeing each of our students grow and work towards their goals is the best part of my role as the principal. In addition, working with our families, community, and staff to reflect and implement opportunities for our students to Dream, Aspire, and Achieve brings a smile to my face every day. As this year begins, building relationships and recognizing positive choices will be a top priority. The most important work we will embark on, is the work that puts students’ learning first.
Over the last 19 years of my educational career, I have taught an array of mathematics classes, instructionally coached teachers in multiple subject areas, and led schools in instructional best practices. During this time, I have completed my masters’ degrees in both educational leadership from Cardinal Stritch University and mathematics from Marquette University. In education, lifelong learning is key to staying excited, passionate, and on top of effective strategies. I’ve found that the most satisfying work is the work that requires dedication and perseverance.
Growing up in a small town in northern Minnesota, Two Harbors, I thoroughly enjoy the extra 4+ months of nice weather in southeastern Wisconsin! My husband, Phil Johnson, and I have two little girls, Hazel (7) and Ruby (5), that keep us on our toes with dance, swimming, and playing! Personally, I love to compete in triathlons and you can often find me outside running, biking, and swimming. I’m looking forward to competing with Team USA in the USAT AG Worlds throughout 2023 and 2024.
As we continue our work to empower all students to achieve and excel academically, socially, and civically to reach their individual goals, my door will always be open to you. I look forward to learning from each of you as we work together to support our students.
Go Bulldogs!
